The aim of this study is to explain why some middle-class Victorian women took up various kinds of public social service, as social workers, researchers or reformers.

Citizenship, Work and Welfare analyses changing definitions of citizenship, particularly in relation to work, in 19th and 20th-century Britain. It shows how conceptions of the rights of citizenship have moved beyond basic necessities to the idea of 'inclusion' - the ability to take part in normal social activities.
